Godzilla and Kong, buddies or enemies? I guess it depends if Mechagodzilla's around. And if you haven't seen the movie then you don't know the answer! I like this movie, it's exactly what it supposed to be. Here's everything right with Godzilla vs Kong!

I like to think from the beginning Godzilla is constantly laying out his plan to Kong every time it roars, but it was in Japanese so Kong had no idea what was going on.
LOL That's hilarious and is officially my head canon. XD
@@HK_Productions47 same
Not only japanese, Godzilla probably speaks in like, Yakuza Japanese where it was just a bunch of slangs and curse words
Godzilla: Roars
Kong: ...It's like he's trying to speak to me I KNOW IT
Giant gorilla flying with balloons
Apex: *activates Mechagodzilla*
Godzilla, somewhere in the ocean:
*”You wouldn’t dare”*
Godzilla: *"THE AUDACITY OF THIS BITCH!!!!!"*
Godzilla: *"Earth is not yours to conquer!"*
"absolutely not"
@@ZeroBeat1 Invincible, noice
“Man I can’t have shit in this house!”
What's great about this movie is how it portrays Godzilla. He's not the "good guy" like Kong and never was. He's simply meant to keep the balance.
Hulk is strongest there is
@@SinHurr mcu hulk would get atomized without Godzilla breaking a sweat
@@enccy3410 nah bro hulk existing makes Godzilla go extinct 😩
@@oikstooru why do you even compare those 2. Entirely different universes. One is a big green guy and one is a giant atomic lizard.
@@frankthecat9547 I was just joking lmao because that one dude said hulk is the strongest there is and I found that kinda funny 👺
Honestly what I really love about this film is that while it was a VS Movie where the title characters team up in the end, it didn't wimp out on the "who would win" angle. Kong gets beaten so badly that he has to get his heart restarted, monke would have died if not for human intervention.
I mean Godzilla could have charged up his breath when he had Kong pinned and killed him right then and there, but he instead said, “GIVE UP, OLD MAN! YOU AIN’T WINNING,” and then left
Admittedly, in Batman v Superman, Batman 100% won. He just chose to spare Superman.
@@CX7thetherapist ironically big-g is way older than Kong (probably)
@@mekhie.r.duncan3825 true Godzilla is like tens of thousands of years old
It’s an interesting twist on the kong lore. Human intervention was the reason why kong died in every other story.
Win: They actually gave us a winner instead of "Eh, let them keep fighting until the actual big bad shows up."
This. And i actually will respect any of the 2 outcomes. Great if Big G wins, cool if Kong wins. Just give me the actual winner and make the fight make sense of the winner to win.
Too many "equals" fighting in movie and anime that didn't really show clear winner, so when they do, i greatly appreciate it.
Aye, the fact they did not cop out of the fact that the giant atomIc lizard THAT LITERALLY TOOK A NUKE STRAIGHT TO THE FACE AND CAME OUT FULLY ROIDED was indeed able to beatdown the Monkey of considerable Size.
Kudoy to ghidorah still beating roidzilla, who cheated by using mothras signature move: dieing for a friend.
@@trazyntheinfinite9895 Guidorah also cheated sucking the electric grid power, before that Godzilla was winning and he was winning before in the ocean when the humans fucked up. And since earth was not guidorahformed pretty sure Godzilla won in the past also.
@@VitorHugoOliveiraSousa i will concede that godzilla is the king.
Not just that, but I love that they gave Kong some really impressive moves, to the point of taking the proverbial second round before being completely KO'd in the third because of course serious Godzilla would win. It gives both fighters respect, despite the obvious winner.
Funny thing, in "Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster" Godzilla, Rodan and Mothra were talking with each other with the fairy twins translating for the nearby humans.
The twins did call out Godzilla for his foul language.
Wait really that's awesome
Why oh why am I not surprised. Of all of the Kaiju, Godzilla is best described as the "brute" of the bunch. I can easily see him as the potty-mouthed brute of the bunch. Kind of like a mafia bruiser. "Hey! Dis here territory belongs to me. Dose trees belong to me. Dose animals belong to me. The damned rocks and water belong to me." And then he follows up with a bunch of expletives.
Thank you for reminding me of something that was clearly stated in the film multiple times 👍
@@benb3756 he's kinda explaining for the people who haven't seen that movie and he's just pointing out a nice little nodd.
@@allankolenovsky7028 so....essentially Cat from Red Dwarf going "This is Mine! This is mine! ...I don't want that. This is mine! yeeeooowww!"?
Fun fact in the original Ghidorah the three-headed monster mothra's ferry twins were able to understand Godzilla they translated what he said and one time their only reaction was "oh Godzilla, what foul language!"
True, but that was only in the English dub.
@@Kwatcher100 yeah, but its still gold.
@@WrathMilten I don’t deny that.
I can just imagine godzilla coming up with slurs and curses for ghidorah
"STUPID THREE HEADED GARDEN SNAKE SPACE ALIEN FREAKY LOOKING MOTHERFUCKING XENOOOO"
GODZILLA CANONICAL SAID FUCK
I honestly love the emotional differences between Godzilla and Kong. Even though Godzilla is above the mindset of a regular animal he STILL has those animalistic tendencies and will full on feral people especially if he’s gotta restore balance. It’s more cold and calculating which makes sense because he’s- well a cold and calculating lizard. Kong is a giant ape and we can see even with real life Gorillas that they can be very emotionally complex and this shows in his actions like saving Jia.
I like to think that on top of that, he's a lot more unhinged in the movie now that Mothra (the ying to his yang) is out of commission, since they are opposing forces of nature.
@@abbeyriberio4083That's a very good theory. It's even more plausible after watching GxK. Godzilla is very angry since the KoTM and it could be because Mothra is gone (at least for a while)
Also, a little fun fact: when Mechagodzilla starts to get powered up by the hollow earth energy, if you listen closely, what sounds like engines revving are actually king Ghidorahs roars. Also, after it takes control, all of MechaGodzillas roars are Ghidorah roars.
Yeah I noticed that! The power-up, I didn't notice the post-control-roars though, thanks for pointing them out. Gotta give this flick another watch anyway! Be safe!
I love my life
@Meme God uh...why?

For real, kong couldn’t hope to beat King Gedorah.
The fact that Godzilla won the titular battle is what made me happy, Kong beating MechaGodzilla was an added bonus.
Yeah, he totally kicked Kong's ass. Team Godzilla!
@@MegaCityGhost i mean if i was alive for millions of years and couldnt even kill an ape i would of just died .-. no hate :)
I feel like this response was what the creators were angling for.
@@digeez7102 because he was focusing on real threat which mech g kong just couldn’t understand the situation.
@@digeez7102 everyone downplays the ape but if the movie stuck to reality a giant ape can lift 12 x it's weight. Considering Kong's like 50k that's 600 k. He should logically destroy Godzilla due to physical and mental advantage
One thing I love is how Godzilla was having trouble learning to fight Mecha. This was entirely unnatural movement, he couldn't just go on past Kaiju-busting skills, he's never had something swing back and then just ROCKET PUNCH him before. He didn't have a target he could simply tank and outlast, or wear down with superficial damage. This thing was pure, Godzilla slapping power.
@@ExulInsani No; the director only said he "wasn't sure who would win," never a definitive winner.
well, not really, before this godzilla had fought kong twice before, AND he had fought kong for 12 hours+ in hong kong, the director also said that it was supposed to be 50/50 even then
@@hunterg.1300alright yeah let’s not acknowledge the fact the director had a clear compassion for Godzilla, nor the fact that Mecha was built from the ground up to be a direct COUNTER to Godzilla. You know this wouldnt be the first time humanity almost killed the big G.
@@bruh0611 The comment isn't there anymore, but my original reply was to a guy falsely claiming that the director supposedly confirmed that Godzilla would have beaten MechaG if he was fully rested. And I told him that Wingard never said that.
So, I know it's a bit of a stretch, but I always thought him pouring his flask on the console was actually a nod to Japanese mythology. Orochi, the multi-headed dragon, was defeated by getting him drunk. Ghidora draws a lot of inspiration from Orochi, so using alcohol to defeat him seemed deliberate.
There is a crap ton of nods to mythology and past Godzilla and King Kong franchises in these movies that goes unnoticed
From what I've seen Ghidora is more inspired off of a Hydra from Greek mythology and a Wyvern than Yamata no Orochi.
Funny you mentioned Orochi he exists in this universe as well he's still sleeping lol. Monarch has a facility at his location
@@jamaicaqueens22 Yeah, I know. He's just sleeping while all this shit is happening lol.
Whoa!!!! That's a great catch! I did not know that. Males me not hate that random ass way of defeating mecha G/Kevin
It’s explained in a graphic novel that after King of the Monsters, Godzilla inherited Mothra’s perception and intelligence after absorbing her essence after she got killed by King Ghidorah. It beautifully explains that just Godzilla as he was aware and curious about his surroundings, but with Mothra’s essence he was able to feel every living being on the planet, and understood the nature of life in general.
That's interesting, didn't know that! I need to look into that novel
Damn Godzilla OP
@@user-qo2bt1gg1o eh, as much as I love Godzilla, I’m betting he’s gonna be killed in the next movie, either by Battra(Mothra’s evil twin brother) or Destroyah.
Godzilla actually has always had the same level of intelligence. With Mothra boost he gained her God sense of the world rather than his old domain being the ocean.
@@greatgallade I could see mothra in big G while he killed hundreds of thousands of ppl in KvG
My dude caught more references in this movie than 70% of breakdown channels. Wow.
Got that eagle eye
It is was confirmed that MechaGodzilla runs on 2 Ghidorah skulls, one in the head of MG, and the other for the pilot. The hilarious part is they are both skulls of Kevin from the two times he is beheaded. This also made it odd that MG was so sadistic and evil as between Ichi, Nii, and Kevin, Kevin was the most docile while Nii was the more brutal head of Ghidorah.
Now i wonder how nii would do if he was controlling mecha g. Kevin still did a good job tho
@@Ronin_Monarch exactly and plus we don't really know how getting beheaded twice effected Kevin. I mean if I was a severed head stuck inside a metal body along with another of my severed head, that would kinda fuck me up mentally and definitely harden me up.
Just curious, is kevin really the name of the third head in the lore?
1. The director said there was only one head (the one from Mexico), and the plot was changed last second.
2. That was Kevin. In KOTM he was not “docile”, he was just awfully curious about everything. He killed an equal amount of people as his brothers.
@@eisbua4272 no. Kevin was a joke name given by the director. His real name is San.
No matter how old you are, a giant lizard fighting a giant gorilla is always going to be awesome! I know that because I saw my stepfather very excited about their fight and he's already in his 50s
Hey, I'm in my 50's and I resemble that remark😄
The inner child in all of us is just screaming with joy. Imagine we used to smash our toys together while thinking they're fighting. Only this time, we can see our imaginations come into big screen.
Btw I'm turning 27 within the next months.
It’s the King of the Monsters vs King Kong, it doesn’t get better than That
In my fifties, been a Godzilla fan since I was four. Same.
When I rewatched this and realized that moment of him running through Hollow Earth was the first time Kong ever got to all out run anywhere in his life it really moved me.
Reminds me of Rise of the Planet of the Apes, where Caesar climbs the redwoods for the first time.
Skull island was a pretty small place for someone the size as king, to be honest.
I feel like one of the best things this movie did was showcase both Godzilla and Kong's strengths in a way that stayed true to the lore. Realistically there was no way Kong was standing up to Godzilla in a straight fight, but they used Kong's intelligence and ingenuity to even the odds. It made it so even when Godzilla inevitably came out on top, it still did Kong justice. Not an easy feat to pull off.
No it really didn't. They made Kong look like a bitch as he never did any significant damage to Godzilla. no scars, no injuries nothing. If they really wanted to show them as even then the Axe would've been made by Kong himself after ripping one of Godzilla's own spines off.
@@thefanwithoutaface8105That's exactly it: they're not evenly matched, never have been, and never will be. They do Kong justice by showing how well he holds his own using his intelligence and ingenuity, even when utterly outclasses
Also Godzilla has a visible scar on his leg from Kong's axe
@@pokeyscorpion8224 Except Godzilla in neither movie prior to this showed his Atomic Breath is powerful enough to punch a hole down to the Hollow Earth or do that whole crawling like an alligator thing.
Movie essentially gave Godzilla more advantages than he had.
@@thefanwithoutaface8105 In 2014, the MUTO's EMP weakened his atomic breath, so it couldn't have done that even if he tried; in KoTM, he had no reason to do either of those things. Ghidora was a winged titan, what purpose would it serve to blast the ground or go on all fours? He stays upright because he needs his forelimbs to deal with Ghidora
@@pokeyscorpion8224 Except EMPs affect
Electrical items not Nuclear. Hell Nuclear explosions generate EMPs, so it makes zero sense that an EMP would affect Godzilla's Atomic Breath.
Great video. Here is an additional win:
Every single one of the kaijus have their own unique fighting style.
Godzilla mostly relies on brute strenghth and his atomic breath. During the final battle, he keeps spamming his atomic breath on Kong, seeing him as more of a minor obstacle in his way and trying to simply subdue him, until Kong gets a good hit with his axe on Godzilla and then sneak attacks him. Godzilla then got pissed and procceeded to end the fight as quickly as possible and attacked Kong on all fours procceeding to bite him and scratch him with his claws, just like a raging animal.
Kong relied more on intelligence and tried to come up with different tactics and tools during the fight in order to counter Godzilla's atomic breath and get close to him so as to use his speed and more advanced arms to delivered close-quarters-combat combos on the slower Godzilla.
Mechagodzilla was charging in battle with immense speed and strength, while also doing some outmaneuvring of his own. Plus, there was quite some character animation with Mechagodzilla not only focusing his attacks on Godzilla, but also clearly torturing him before procceeding to finish him off.
Even the warbats had their own unique fighting style, since they attempted to grab on Kong and squish him, ending the fight as quickly as possible, just like a real python would do.
This movie did an excellent job showcasing each kaijus strengths and weaknesses and seeing their fighting styles clash and interract was interesting......and sooooo much fun.
Exactly, mecha Godzilla was able to solo both of them and outright kill them in no time if humans did not get involved, it just shows that humans are the true apex species and mecha is indirectly the king of the monsters
@@Just_Pradyun Humans are not apex or alpha. Not only do we not have dominion over nature, we are, in fact, subordinate to it.
@@Just_Pradyun Literally the ENTIRE message of Godzilla _as a series_ is that we're NOT on the top of the food chain.
You forgot Oguri Shun is also a win
MechaG was also made with the purpose of killing Godzilla. That's why he doesn't much care about Kong and just punches him away while firing missiles and fire breath (I don't know what he has, hollow breath?, idk). He focus all his "powers" on Godzilla. And that sort of gives Kong the upper hand against MechaG and save Godzilla. I love the dynamics of the entire Hong Kong fight!
Godzilla vs. KingKong is such a fun film, exactly what the Kaiju fans want. No complicated things and lots of actions
As a Godzilla fan my entire life, while I love this movie and do want more, King of the Monsters was better.
@@Tracker947 same. I loved all the new Godzilla movies and this was the best so far.
I personally prefer KoTM, because it's not just monsters fighting, but also establishes an interesting lore (only thing GvK really explores is the hollow earth). GvK, especially Mechagodzilla, is also full with inconsistencies (where does the 2nd Ghidorah head come from, to name one). Combine KoTM's lore and treatment of the kaiju's with GvK's battle choreography and you get the perfect Monsterverse film IMO
@@121ATV wait.. what second Ghidorah head? isn't this just the one Jonah found at the end of the last movie?
@@hiimchrisj Exactly, at the end of KoTM there is ONE head in the possesion of Jonah. In GvK Apex Cybernetics has one head inside of Mechagodzilla and the other one as a control center, since the heads communicate per telepathy. So how did Apex get the head from Jonah & where does the second one come from? It makes no sense
Godzilla four-legged feral mode was jawdropping. Something we've never seen before, and how quick and brutal he was... Wow.
Ghidorah may almost killed godzilla, but Kong pissed him the most lol
@@romusa10 No, more like irritate him and then respect was shown. Ghidorah was a rivalry pure hate; when marching into Boston. Kong received Godzillas respect Ghidorah only ever got hate.
@@Jakezillagfw I feel like with Ghidorah/the MUTOs it was just 'you gotta die,' but with Kong, Godzilla had something to prove.
@@Sleksin Kong had something to prove to Godzilla yeah.
@@Jakezillagfw actually it went both ways. Godzilla was confirmed to have his ass handed to him by a Kong in the past, so the fights were a tad personal. He likely wanted to show that he is THE king of the monsters, and another Kong won’t get in the way of that. Kong on the other refused to be bossed around by some dude he’s never met before when all he’s known is “I’m the biggest badass on my island.” So yeah, both had things to prove
I honestly appreciated that most of the human attempts to "Fix the problem." usually did little or fell short, leaving it back to the monsters. Shorting the computer doing little more than a hiccup. (Enough to buy a second but not turn him off) felt like a good choice as opposed to "Ah guys we turned off Mechagodzilla we good now."
It's good that it was made clear that the humans can only do so much. Their weapons are a stun effect at best, they could only play dead and hope to god(zilla) that big-G wasn't out to kill and two kids and a conspiracy theorist can't hack into a high-tech terminal (but it's still electronics and conductive liquid go BRRRR).
Although, the fact that two kids and a conspiracy theorist got as far as they did really makes Apex feel like a bit of a mess.
15:16 it certainly looked like it, could be a nod to the fact that the OG actor for Godzilla (back in the era of the rubber suit) was a Judo Blackbelt and used that training to influence Godzilla's movements.
Kong is a child, relatively speaking. Godzilla played with him the whole time, taught him a few lessons, and even gave him the win at the end (against mecha) for an ego boost. Godzilla is a great older-brother figure!
Erm, no.
Godzilla played with him in the Tasman Sea but went serious when Kong arrived in Hong Kong.
Also, Godzilla NEEDED Kong to defeat Mechagodzilla and not simply "oh I'm not gonna try and wait for Kong to come to give him some encouragement"
Godzilla knew the power of the axe as the only thing that could kill Mechagodzilla.
@@bro-be3bd I don't know, we can't say that Zilla was playing on the second round, but in the last one when he really got serious he didn't have any difficulty.
And yeah he needed help against mecha, but tha axe is super broken. Is like all of the power of the atomic breath concentrated in a single spot
@@bro-be3bd nope he tried when round 3 started
Well its mamal and lizard,untrained we can see how most mamal acting warm/caring, but how the hell you distinct a lizard mood
@@bro-be3bd godzilla is able to defeat mechagodzilla easily but was tired from fighting kong so thats when he teamed up with kong to take It down the director of the movie said it
I love that godzilla’s response to being punched in the face is to bitch slap kong, absolutely amazing
Bro hit him with the trillion dollar atomic bitchslap
Godzilla: "You muthafuckas."
Godzilla went full Will Smith
@@Lorronzodark humour 💀
Kong: * PUNCH * GET FUCKED
godzilla:......*PIMP SLAP WHILE YELLING LIKE A YAKUZA*
13:05 Thats such a good point. The Hollow Earth gave reference to the fact that Kong and Godzilla weren't ancient enemies, but allies. Somewhere in time they lost that.
Also i am so stupid. I didn't realize Kong grew a beard 🤣
I love everything about Mechagodzilla. The way he jets around to make up for the mobility he'd lose from being so, so much heavier than a titan of his approximate size, the Red lasers and the energy punches, the fact he has rockets and stuff to deal with enemies that clearly don't warrant the big laser, really just S Tier design.
Part and parcel since 74, baby!
Every time Monsterverse Godzilla rolls into a scene I hear him saying “It smells like b***h in here”, so I’m glad to see your translation is in the same vein.
I didn't think about that but now I can't NOT think about that.
That is totally his vibe. 100% 😆😆
This is the perfect godzilla comment. Well done.
I love how Mechagodzilla was done in the movie. It calls back to Showa, Heisei and Millennium series. Alien controlled, human built, and a ghost in the machine.
Plus I love how they went with the more segmented armour from the anime version/Kiryu
I wanted to see the Super-X again.
@@memebot4320 Super-X II mostly.
@@williamaldred335 what anime do u mean?

@@JohnnyNumber11 the design they had for the actual mg was badass
4:18 Godzilla getting described as being like "Huh, cool..." oddly amused me.
The filthy vs polite speech gag was also funny.
I think it was more of "about damn time you humans do something besides cause problems"
Honestly Kong pulling out mecha Godzilla’s head gave serious sub zero vibes. And I was all for it when I saw it. And I’m still here for it
That “Pretty sure this is why I watch movies,” is why I love this channel. You don’t feel the need to criticize a movie for not having a story as good as The Dark Knight or something when that’s not the intent of the movie.
Bold of you to assume everyone watches the Dark Night for the story!
But I agree
Then again there are monster movies with good stories, well developed characters and awesome action (GMK, The Gamera Trilogy, most of the 60s Godzilla films, the original Mothra among others)
is Dark Knight your standard for a good story?
The only reason I criticize this movie is because it blows my mind that they bring the little girl with them on this extremely dangerous mission where at any moment she could be killed. Terrible parenting
Anyone who watches Kong vs Godzilla for the story is either lying or a weirdo. Everyone watches it for dope cgi fights
@@dudebro2680 GMK? Oh well I don’t remember the story anyway
This movie was just such a blast from start to finish man ngl, yes the human stuff was boring but finally getting a GvK in such good quality is just a dream come true so this movie is definitely one im gonna be rewatching a lot
I only didn’t like Milly Bobby Browns section of the human, if it was more directly tied to Godzilla I think I would’ve liked it
I thought the humans following Kong were pretty alright.
It aint less boring than 2014 I think those are the worst. Then this then KOTM. Skull Island has the best human characters by far
Did people watch the original Godzilla movies?? They were filled with human stuff and then monster stuff was only bout 20-30 mins, while dispersed evenly enough that you didn't notice TOO much.. anyway, a movie with nothing but monsters fighting would be kinda fun, but also I'd lose interest without ANY human interaction.. just me personally I guess..
@@JamesDarcon2007 the human characters in the monsterverse, aside from like a few, are just really bland and uninteresting, so it's better to just watch the Kaiju on screen for the entire film or most of it than watching generic human drama.
I do love that by this point in the monsterverse it's just become tradition that when you introduce a character they then explain which of their family members died.
18:16 is so funny
It also fits so well
When I saw that the movie got re-uploaded onto HBO Max, I thought to myself “I sense an EGA video about this coming along…” And Lee, sir, you never disappoint
I love that they gave us Mechagodzilla while technically giving us Mecha-king Ghidorah. Such a fun movie!!!
They almost went full circle. Heisei Mechagodzilla was build from the remains of Mecha King Ghidorah. Legendary King Ghidorah became Legendary Mechagodzilla.
the greatest thing about this movie
it has not one but THREE DAYTIME FIGHTS (two gvk fights and one kong vs warbat fight)
literally all movies have mainly nighttime fights to 1 daytime fight but this one has three
best thing ever
The shot at 8:04 was MY "Oh yeah, he's a lizard..." shot when i watched this.
Just look at all that scales definition!
I watched this with my cousins at their house at night and they had a pretty nice view of the Willis tower and the skyscrapers next to it so when we paused it for a bathroom break I looked out the window and pictured Godzilla and King Kong standing next to them to them. Gave me chills
Sears* tower
@@howieee8643 lol
Did you just reference the vine: “What up. I’m Jared. I’m 19 and I never f***ing learned how to read” ? Because it was awesome.
Fun fact on that judo throw joke, Godzilla's fighting style is derived from judo, which was developed for him by one of the original guys who wore the goji suit.
10:29 if you listen carefully u can literally hear the warbat yelling the f word
One thing I really liked about this movie is how Jia felt like an addition to Kong...lore? Like it's always just been Skull Island nothin much really adding on. I felt like Jia could be something like the Mothra Twins, but for Kong.
Kong interacting with women is nothing new. In this franchise , they stopped with the beauty and beast angle and instead opted for a father/daughter relationship.
That’s why I prefer young kong,he was a killing machine with nothing holding him back
@@sammy1552 I like the new angle more. The giant ape is in love with small human always threw me off.
@@tchalla7828 I love both. They tried doing a different take on Kong's love for humans and it works.
Too bad all the natives went extinct but her. And life on Skull island outside longs little enclosure is basically gone. All thanks to a big bat
Recently read that most of the people that worked on this movie admit that had Godzilla not lost so much energy boring a hole to the center of the Earth and fighting Kong in Hong Kong, MechaGodzilla probably would've been destroyed by Godzilla alone. They said Godzilla was at half power by the time Mecha showed up.
Oh damn, he really did *Atomize* bunch of holes with his *Atomic* Breath, it's in the name.
That and being injured from his thigh from Kongs attack
Personally I think that’s cap. MechaGodzilla was literally made to beat Godzilla. A massive machine with no weaknesses that doesn’t get hurt or get tired with array of different of weapons like atomic breath, missiles, those boosters on his back and those charged punches. Even at full strength I see no way how Godzilla was beating him.
@@burnaaszn7681 i will design an item that will destroy the world then. doesnt mean it will work
@@burnaaszn7681 but then got chopped by an axe charged with the said atomic breath
Yeah so much for no weakness
I will admit that I love how Godzilla is given a more, Primal Sentient feel, like a dinosaur protecting its territory and you know, being top of the pecking order. Were as King-Kong is this more human like sentient being that will only really fight Godzilla because Godzilla is seen as an enemy.
also at around 11:30, I like how not only did kong struggle with those, but apparently those ones, Called something like Mega-SkullCrawlers (Or as I call them, Scrawlers) are like 10-20 metres taller than the alpha / big-one. So yea, Mecha-Zilla means real business
15:01 OMG SOMONE finally said it thank you
Kong's roar translating into "How dare you, sir!" made my day.
Ok
There’s so many amazing cgi details in this movie it’s unbelievable here’s a few of my favourite
Every time Kong or Godzilla roar you can see spit flying from their mouths
When the Warbat wraps around Kong it whips the corpse of its buddy.
When Godzilla entires Hong Kong the lights flicker every time he takes a step.
Mechagodzilla is constantly admitting steam from his body
There’s more but these are just a few
Kind of like Titans from AOT
I think the fact that kong is humanized vs Godzilla is interesting because lizards don't really show attachments in the same ways apes would show emotional needs.
Godzilla is still very intelligent and does show some level of emotional intelligence, but he's a force of balance first and foremost, so it's not enough to affect what he does
15:45 that’s the thing. He didn’t.
If he truly submitted than he wouldn’t have roared back which if anything shows that he isn’t a pushover.
"SAY UNCLE!"
"FINE, UNCLE!"
King Kong: Ah what a nice day to take a walk!

the funniest thing about that Wolf Study is the fact that in actuality, the closest to the "Alpha" in a Wolf Pack is usually just the parents, since they tend to be big family units, iirc
so, in essence, Godzilla and Kong are fighting as the Alpha Titan, because they both have big mom/dad energy
They both even have kinda diff types of dadbod if ya think about it lmao
@ZAP GAMERZ true, and i've personally hand-waved the Alpha thing as "The Titans are their own family/genus/whatever, so their social rules are different"
I mean, if that structure where true then it would just be Godzilla and Mothra at the top, seeing as they actively support and care for each other
In current studies on wolves “alpha” does get used for the parents of the rest of the pack (though some wolf packs have an aunt or uncle thrown in to help babysit the newest litter of pups).
Do note that this isn’t a wild vs. captivity dichotomy as often assumed; wolves in captivity will still form family groups as in the wild. It’s only when UNRELATED wolves are kept together than they start fighting over dominance.
Or just plain siblings energy
Id catch a bullet for my brothers but they wont get the cake
18:15 lol
I actually took a closer look at the axe that King Kong was holding and it matches Godzilla’s back fin spike thingy. So it may have been made out of an ancestor of Godzilla. In case anyone messed it.
So ancestor godzilla saw ancestor Kong and went, "Look at that fxcking bastard, I feel bad now- I should give em a weapon..Hmm.."
@@sansthespidergod3995no, the Kong species hunted Gojiras and turned their bodies into weapons, the axe was used to execute a specimen of a different Gojira species in ritual sacrifice
@@pokeyscorpion8224 Wow, sometimes we forget that Gojira is the strongest of his species, to the point of surviving an oxygen destroyer, unlike his mom.
Hands down the best Jean-Ralphio impression I've ever heard
What???
The fact that my favorite CZcamsr is also a fan of Parks and Recreation which happens to be my favorite show is awesome!
Yeah epic man
Bro that shit caught me off guard, almost spat out my beer.
Well, he WAS playing the original audio at the same time...
I love, love, _love_ the music on the opening credits. I also appreciate that we genuinely got to see Godzilla and Kong chose to fight, without mind control or something else forcing them too! We even got a definitive answer, rather than "the rightsholders won't let either one lose!"
The opening gave me Godzilla vs Destroyah vibes
Me too!
Hate to tell you,but Toho wouldn’t let Godzilla lose. That’s from the director. Story wise he SHOULD have lost,and they should have shipped MechaGodzilla to another movie. Kong should have won for the same reason Rocky Balboa wins.He was the underdog that wouldn’t quit. That’s more satisfying thematically than “ Might makes Right”.
@@toddholland7511
They at least had Kong kill MechaGodzilla.
@@toddholland7511 nah godzilla is way more powerful
“I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.”
*GXK:* Well, yes. But, no.
I will say I caught all the hints towards Mecha Godzilla, and still nerded out like crazy to see him, cause Mecha Godzilla is always a win
I always thought they were implying they were ancient enemies as well because what I thought it was supposed to represent is that Kongs race hunted Godzilla since his axe appeared to be made of the bone skin and scales of Godzilla.
it represented that during the war the Godzilla's that were killed got their dorsal plates harvested. It says in the book for the movie that current Godzilla killed the last of the Kong species because they were enslaving other Titans.
@@GoodSirMori Really now? That's really cool to know, so current Godzilla has most likely killed Kong's parents because they turned into slavers. Need to look more into this book
@@jlit5215 Kong's parents were killed by skullcrawlers
@@jlit5215 you can find it on amazon, its the novelization of the movie. The skull crawlers killed Kong's parents, but Godzilla wiped out the rest of them during the "war".
@@GoodSirMori that would be a dope prequel film
This film was exactly what people needed after such a stressful year of the pandemic. Just a fun rollercoaster ride of a movie, and I love it!
Good to see you here
Oh hey guys, great to see you here.
Hi dangerville
wow
Agreed!
The one change I'd make is a maybe 5-10 minute scene to show the absolute despair into absolute fury that would come from having your ancestral home destroyed just moments after finding it. I would do a moment where kong collapses and tries to put the rocks back together only to fail into him slowly getting up, picking up his axe, doing the gorilla chest beating roar then immediately charging up to kill godzilla.
It probably wasn't actually an ancestral home, it was likely a ritual location
17:22
What you Said right Now is The Only Thing in This Video that Totally Makes Sense
There is an easter egg: MechaGodzilla's defeat being caused by alcohol is a reference to the myth of Orochi. Orochi was defeated by getting drunk, Ghidorah was inspired by Orochi, Ghidorah takes over MechaGodzilla, MechaG is defeated by alcohol.
Alchohol defeats a lot of people.
yah alcohol being used to defeat demons is pretty big in japanese myth. yamata-no-orochi(the eight headed dragon) and shuten-douji(one of the 3 great demons of japan) are of particular note
@@ShadeStormXD and yet some people were upset by it... bunch of uncultured swines, I tell ya
There’s also another reference too, it may not occur to a lot of people, but, with Kong’s inclusion, that’s technically a reference to the aliens piloting the original 1974 MechaGodzilla, alien apes to be specific, basically the movie has some nods here and there, but, when you let it sink in, it is kind of interesting, granted that Legendary’s MechaGodzilla doesn’t have apes in the mech.
@@raidenthenctzenwithinsomni4961 when they brought it out ill be honest and say i was concerned. If they had poured it on the console and mekaG had powered off id have been upset but it literally only gave the kaijus the few extra seconds they needed
Going into this movie I had my money on Godzilla winning against Kong. And although he is basically the villain of the movie I still rooted for him. And the final battle between Kong, Godzilla and MechaGodzilla was absolutely amazing!
To be fair Godzilla did win Kong legit died in the movie.main humans did CPR on Kong
I don't even see Godzilla as the villain. I see it just like Lee said: he's doing what he has to do and Kong doesn't realize he's being used by the bad guys.
If you've played Devil May Cry series, it's like when Dante, the main protagonist of the series and who you usually play as, shows up at the beginning of DMC4 and straight up murders people and now you control this new guy to fight him. Nah Nero. Dante is still the hero. You're a good guy too and there are some good people in your organization, but your organization itself is just the worst.
@@kpychamp13
Yeah that’s what I said after. It’s the same case for Batman v Superman. Batman won because Superman died!
@@kpychamp13 He didn't die
@@thescreenslaver8520 Umm but Doomsday killed Superman while Superman threw Batman around
4:24
godzilla actually didnt attack mark russel and the crew later on because he got the scent of serizawa on them. so he was grateful!
13:00 if you look back to the Godzilla skull around the time Kong picks up the axe, you'll get the distinct impression that these two species were not friends.
It's not exactly a Godzilla skull, but it has been confirmed to be a closely related Gojira species. But yeah, they were absolutely not allies in any way; the Kong species hunted Gojiras and used their bodies for weapons
One of my favorite moments in this film was the scene where it looks like the energy failed to power up Mechagodzilla. You get the typical villain monologue in the foreground but in the background you see Mechagodzilla develop a mind of its own and work on its own accord. This turn of events happens out of focus but yet when it happened, everyone in my cinema screamed. That's powerful film making, when a background moment has as much meaning as what's happening in the foreground.
Am I the only one who thinks this was a missed win?
Yeah. Ikr
And the Jaws references in Pensacola and Hong Kong with Godzilla’s dorsal plates coming out. I get goosebumps
The final battle was pure pro wrestling. I could practically hear Jim Ross. And that's what was so fun
"MY GAWD!!!"
"GOOD GAWD ALL MIGHTY, HE'S BROKEN IN HALF"
Fun fact that 4 legged lizard in hollow earth was actually a branch of the Titanus gojira family which is what Godzilla defended from. Soooo all fours Godzilla? Also there was a war between the Kong and Godzilla species . That skull Kong pulled the axe from was made from a dead godzillas dorsal plant and a huge bone from a larger creature in the Godzilla family. That skull belonged to one of those very large godzillas which was exicuted in front of all the kongs and their king.
at the beginning i was constantly laughing when godzilla roars, cuz it sounds like he always has a voicecrack while roaring
When my friends and I discussed it, the conclusion we came to was this: Overall, we are ready for a kaiju movie where the kaiju themselves *are* the MCs. Speaking personally, I was actually cool with the Kong group of humans, but the Godzilla human subplot was frustrating because it was either exposition, or it were jokes or characterization that fell flat. But Godzilla vs Kong, and then Godzilla and Kong vs MechaGodzilla were great because the facial animation and choreography were done well enough where a viewer can infer what's going on.
Personally, the Godzilla humans would have been better if it was Brian Cranston, Ken Watanabe, the dad from the second movie and beautiful Asian lady that I always forget her name but know who she is lady, only. They have a better screen presence.
Too much money to spend and that woukd take way longer
Well it’s always a staple for Monster movies. What they should’ve done is of course making the human actors as supporting characters for the plot and not the other way around.
@@snailthelostcow63 Not always, the Gamera trilogy and Godzilla vs Biollante are two examples where the human plot was pretty interesting.
Godzilla: "There are no alphas!!!"
Kong: "Sounds like something a beta would say!!!"
Based Kong???
Also Kong : *nearly get killed by a beta*
🤣🤣🤣
The fact the Godzilla is t alpha in between them though
"Alphas and betas are both cucks." ~ Mechagodzilla kevinillionaire sigma grindset
16:41 that reminds me a quote that I shall now bring here
"Such devastation... This was not my intention..."-Gaius (van) Baelsar
I dunno.
Kongs face when falling was actually like "WHAT THE HELL MAN" rather then the one you made and it is confirmed
have to admit i do enjoy the wins more than the sins, need the positivity
Especially since at least half the sins have nothing to do with the movie but with the crew's sexual frustration and purposeful ignorance.
Always go for wins rather than sins. You'll end up more satisfied that way.
@ZAP GAMERZ Absolutely agree! Just made my comment more broad so there's less chance of rebukes.
@ZAP GAMERZ have you watched Birdman? He's a youtuber that calls out on their bullshit. You have no idea how many times they've purposely edited their videos to lie.
@ZAP GAMERZ Welcome to the club then my friend! Love to see his channel grow.
We really need a word for “that is the most awesome thing I’ve ever seen but holy crap I need to change my pants.”
That actually is the definition of the word “Awesome”
awe·some
adjective
extremely impressive or daunting; inspiring great admiration, apprehension, or fear.
Terr-awe-fying
...for this movie? Really?
@4:16 I think that it's awesome that the closest moment we have with Godzilla still shows how small and insignificant we are in the grand scheme of things - Godzilla is the steward of the entire Earth and his duties go far beyond saving just humankind. Watanabe essentially sacrificing himself and barely getting acknowledgment from Godzilla brings the unpredictable aspect of Godzilla - he is the balancer of nature, but at what point does he turn his attention to us? Humanity has shown the capability to create Kaiju and I don't think Godzilla is going to just let that continue. He is the cautionary tale against the lust for power and domination, whereas Kong is the embodiment of the exploring spirit and empathizes with humanity and their wish for self-preservation in the face of monsters.
I just love Kong's *"Oh shit"* face in this scene 7:38
To answer the question on if there's a word for something being "cool" and "terrifying" at the same time, the word literally "Awesome"
Awesome is a play on "Awe" which also means "Terror". Thus the original meaning of "Awesome" was "Terrorsome".
Something I actually really love about the Monsterverse movies is that in every form, Ghidorah is constantly shown to be vastly superior to Godzilla in nearly every way, & the only way Godzilla is able to beat him is with human assistance, or else just luck (i.e. the earth's natural defense mechanisms aren't enough to maintain balance if humanity doesn't also work with them).
to play devil's advocate. Godzilla would've/could've won without the humans. If they didn't drop the oxygen destroyer
@@curseddragonninja22 True, but in that case, he was lucky 'cos he managed to catch Ghidora by surprise & get him into the water which is Godzilla's element.
@@SeraphimCramer True, but theirs no such thing as a fair fight to the death.
I’d like to see a scene in the next Godzilla movie where he catches maybe a lower level kaiju in the water and completely destroys them
@@curseddragonninja22 Well, going off of OP's analogy, dropping the oxygen destroyer is to a serious oil spill as godzilla is to the earth's natural defense mechanisms. Really, the moral to G:KOTM is "Stop destroying the environment and actually start helping it."
I would give Kong a big magnet and install it in at the base of his back through surgery. (This gives him the power to control metal like Magneto) I would also give him a Nano bot technology suit that is spiked and they are made out of adamandium. I would also install foot blades, knee blades, Assassin’s Creed wrist blades, Wolverine-styled claws, elbow blades, a spiked helmet and all of his gear is made out of adamandium. I would also give him a thing to put in his mouth that gives him venomous fangs. These nano bots can become spiked at Kong’s will. When in battle, he will have a large amount of nano bots swarming around him with spikes out…creating a “sharp force field”. He also has his spiked armor too. If he gets hit and a chunk of nano bots are blown away, they come right back to him because of the very strong magnet in him. He can shoot all his blades out like projectiles and they come back to him because of the magnet. Godzilla is done for.
If Godzilla hits him, he will be spiked. Kong can just send his nano bots to Godzilla’s face, they will enter his eyes, nostrils, mouth, skin and shred him up on the inside with the spikes. Robot Godzilla is done too…he is made of metal. Kong just sticks his hand out, mecha-Godzilla stops in his tracks, Kong closes his hand and Mecha-Godzilla’s head gets crushed. There are so many ways Kong can defeat these two with this technology. (Big Hero six inspired my nanobot idea)
Really love that Godzilla is what Serizawa said from the beggining, "nature has an order, a power to restore balance, I believe he is that power" and case in point he always is, anytime order is disturbed he's there kong leaves his island? He goes for him, ghidorah is alive? He goes to kill him. He patrols the sleeping place of each titan, Godzilla is a pure perservation of nature, humaity despite once worshipping him and aiding him in battle doesn't make them priorty over the world at large. And the fact that land or sea in a straight fight Godzilla just over powers kong with pure mass and ferocity
I remember watching this movie and thinking "badass bad guy" almost every time Godzilla was on screen until mechagodzilla came along and proved that the OG was actually a bad ass good guy
Beside Godzilla and Kong fighting, the Hollow Earth Sequence was amazing. Honestly it reminds me of the game “Gravity Rush”, and it’s amazing.
Plus I always love the note that Kong can do Sign Language.
Gravity Rush is great. ❤
Mark my words, this (14:32) was a test project for the Universal Studios theme parks
Don’t really know if someone’s already mentioned this but no, Kong roaring back was not submission.. either was him dropping the axe. It looks that way in the movie but the novel really shows the true meaning behind everything.. it was clear defiance, nothing else. “Kong bows to no one”
It was more so Kong conceding that fight, he wasn't submitting to Godzilla. They're both alpha titans, they physiologically can't submit to each other because they're immune to alpha frequency biosonar
The exact moment I saw the hovertrains through the underground tunnels connecting Florida to Hong Kong I thought: "Oh. So this is modern, big-budget treatment of a silly Showa-era Godzilla vs. film? Cool." And on that level, it absolutely does not disappoint.
It absolutely does disappoint, since the actual Versus Battle is barely a footnote in the overall plot
@@Valtharr hell no. The four fights were fantastically done and paced well from each other
Whilst I will admit the score can hit you in the right place for KvG, you just can't top Bear McCreary and his work in KotM. My man put so much hard work into that score.
I listened to pieces from KotM while I workout. So many great pieces.
As much as I adore GMK's OST, the soundtrack for KotM is the pinnacle of Godzilla music.
The Kong/Godzilla team up was so dope!
15:09
"NOOOOO!!!! THAT WAS MY FAVORITE BUILDING!!"
Kong needing to take a nap killed me but then that freaking audio you added to it absolutely destroyed me 🤣
13:49 I honestly broke out in laughter watch the movie the first time at this scene, I just love how Kong’s face is, he looks like he’s thinking “Look how insignificant these tiny apes are”.
"Look at what they need to do to mimic a fraction of our power"
16:46
i think he is saying "Dun dun dun"
10:51 doug +100 points
After 2014 Godzilla, I went into the movies only expecting to see big monsters fight and I was never let down. Honestly, the humans getting less story impact is fine by me since this is really Godzilla's and Kong's movie
I have been taking an ASL class here for a few years in college, as my language for my degree. I watched this movie, then in the next ASL class I half jokingly told my deaf teacher that Kong signed better than I did, which she though was very funny.
The sign language was quite well done in this movie, I thought. The girl is a native signer, so she of course was fine, and the woman playing her guardian looked like someone who actually knew sign language rather than how it comes across with most actors who look like they learned a few gestures right before the cameras rolled. She wasn't perfect given that her signs were just a little too broad and stiff, but she was better than average, especially for a Hollywood blockbuster.
"Aww, look at that fluffy boy!"
Literally me😆
Also, I really like how Mecha Godzilla uses the Raseangan.
